Windows mail is the new name for Outlook Express 7, its basically a facelift for Vista.

Re: a bit of help
Dunno to be honest. I'd hazard a guess at yes.
I installed it on a client's machine and it was working as a mail client. I presume there's no problems with NG's?
I can't see why there would be.

Re: a bit of help
Outlook 2007 (or any previous incarnation of full blown Outlook that I've used) doesn't support newsgroups

Of course it works; we're talking about newsgroups.

QED? QED?! It was demonstrated in the first post I made and rebutted by you, poorly, twice. Learn to read and get your facts straight before giving totally unhelpful information  .

No it wasn't. You simply said "You Can't use Outlook".
Tali explained it, not you.
Calm down, have a drinky milk.
Bedtime soon.
